<p>The rule has the following parameters:</p>
<h4>Privacy Levels</h4>
<p>A table for privacy levels spaces with specified type and name. Privacy 
 level is one of:</p>
<ul class=whs9 style="list-style: disc;" type=disc>
	<li class=p><p>Inaudible (required STC rating is 55)</p></li>
	<li class=p><p>Confidential (required STC rating is 50)</p></li>

	<li class=p><p>Minimal (required STC rating is 40)</p></li>
	<li class=p><p>None</p></li>
</ul>
<h4>Wall STC Ratings</h4>
<p>A table about wall types' STC ratings.'</p>
<h4>Door STC Ratings</h4>
<p>A table about door types' STC ratings.</p>
<h4>Wall Offset Tolerance</h4>
<p>A tolerance for searching walls around spaces. Walls, which are nearer 
 than the tolerance, are taken into account.</p>
<h4>Acceptable Gap</h4>
<p>An acceptable gap between walls around a space.</td></tr>

 are attached to the issue as information components.</p>

 and the space is attached to it.</p>

 required, an issue is created and the space and walls and doors with too 
 small STC rating are attached to the issue.</td></tr>

<p>Adds all space name and type combinations in the model to Privacy Levels 
 table. You have to select the privacy level for them.</p>
<h4>Add All Wall Types</h4>
<p>Adds all wall types in the model to Wall STC Ratings table. You have 
 to select STC rating to them. If 'Allow Automatic STC Rating Determination' 
 is checked, the system tries to search string 'STC' from the type name 
 and tries to determinate the STC rating of the type.</p>
<h4>Add All Door Types</h4>
<p>Adds all door types in the model to Door STC Ratings table. You have 
 to select STC rating to them. If 'Allow Automatic STC Rating Determination' 
 is checked, the system tries to search string 'STC' from the type name 
 and tries to determinate the STC rating of the type.</td></tr>
